Calgary police arrest man linked to spate of break and entersBack to video

The most recent occurred early Saturday morning in the northeast community of Redstone. A homeowner thwarted the break and enter attempt but the suspect, wielding a knife, fled in the victim’s vehicle, police said.

Occurrences of break and enters in Calgary’s northern, suburban communities had been occurring since the beginning of September. Police said residents were home during many of the incidents and were concerned about public safety.

The Calgary police break-and-enter unit was brought into the investigation to identify and locate the suspect.

On Friday, four separate nighttime break and enters took place in the communities of Whitehorn and Coral Springs.

By early Saturday morning, the Fugitive Apprehension Team was brought in to assist the investigation and a warrant was executed on a residence in the 0-100 block of Whitefield Crescent N.E. but police believe the suspect fled prior to the warrant’s execution and then allegedly committed the break and enter in Redstone.

Police arrested Harmandeep Sidhu on Saturday, who was wanted on six warrants in connection to the break and enter offences.

Authorities are reminding homeowners to lock all doors and windows and to call 9-1-1 if they suspect an intruder inside their home. If there is an intruder, police recommend against confronting them if possible.

Police have arrested 18-year-old Harmandeep SIDHU, who was wanted on six warrants in connection with nearly 20 break-and-enters in Calgary. /Calgary
